Question

Determine the length of the two sides of this rectangle.
The area is 27in squared and the length is 3w but you must find what w is.
Keep in mind W is the height so you must find the height.

Answer 1

Answer:

W=3

Step-by-step explanation:

The length (3w) is equivalent to 9 inches. Therefore, w must equal 3. If the width is just w, then that would mean that the width is 3 inches. If you multiply the length by the width, 9x3, you would get 27 inches squared, which is the area of the rectangle.  

Answer 2

Answer:

3=w

Step-by-step explanation:

27=3w times w

27=3$w^{2}$

27/3=9

9=$w^{2}$

$\sqrt{9}$=$\sqrt{w^{2} }$

3=w
